[Vision2020] Re: rubbing their noses in it

[Jennifer McFarland]

Joan,
How about, "Stop, or I'll yell 'stop' again!"  It works for me!  I'm sure
the Kleenex thing would probably get you cited for littering.  Best let the
boys in blue take care of those dangerous spitters, little lady.  Oh, wait,
I take that back.  I keep forgetting to check my irony at the door when I go
into the office.  But, I know who I'm coming after if I hear of a
drive-by-sneezing today.  Watch out there, Rebel-Woman.

But Officer McFarland,
 
Wouldn't rubbing the perp's nose in his own "Idaho blow" constitute some
form of assault, if only an assault on the senses?  Not that I'm not game to
try -- I do have one whole semester of Tae Kwon Do under my belt.  (Ouch.
No pun intended.)
 
I think perhaps pelting spitters, blowers, and other loogie-harkers with big
wads of Kleenex might better get the point across.  While it's not quite the
non-violent confrontation approach that Melynda and other Quakers advocate,
I reckon I could get away with it.  Still, must I put away my cuffs?  How am
I going to get these miscreants to stand still?  By asking politely?  I
think not -- in my book, The Code of Auntie Establishment, there's no
difference between spitting on the street and peeing on a fire hydrant.
Either way, you're a dirty dog. 
 
Joan/Auntie

Joan,
I don't think spitting is an arrestable offense--unless you spit on a person
(bio-hazard, ostensibly), so I'd put my cuffs down if I were you.  As for
shooting them . . .well, unless you've got the Nerf Jimmy Dart Gun you might
have to tame your itch.  Too bad you can't just rub their noses in it like I
do with my cats when they do something bad . . .
